Our goaltenders are old, battered, and bruised. There was no better option than Schneider. Elite goaltending is next to impossible to get unless you strike gold in the draft and develop from within. Even then, you're talking about a development period of several years. What were we going to do after next season if we didn't make the trade? Continue to play a brittle Marty? Pray that Wedgewood/Kinkaid/Clermont became something more than average? Wasn't happening.
